The participants with a mean age of 48.8 +/- 5.08 generally defined chronic pain intensity as moderate pain (x=7.17, sd = 2.01). There was a weak positive relationship between chronic pain intensity and the worrying dimension, one of the passive coping strategies, and a weak negative relationship with the retreating dimension. A weak negative relationship was identified between chronic pain intensity and pain beliefs levels, both organic beliefs and psychological beliefs sub-dimensions. The multivariate model identified by regression analysis explained 21.2% of the total chronic pain intensity variance. Our findings suggest that while chronic pain is undoubtedly a complex and multifaceted experience, understanding the psychosocial aspects of a person's life can shed valuable light on their pain levels and how they cope with them.en10.1080/07399332.2024.2402734info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessQuality-Of-LifeLow-Back-PainCoping StrategiesSex-DifferencesPrevalenceDepressionBeliefsQuestionnaireAcceptanceManagementArticleN/AWOS:0013134644000012-s2.0-8520408545039283601Q2
